PMDG MD-11 Previews

PMDG has been teasing us lately with a bunch of new liveries from their upcoming MD-11 product:

• Delta "ribbons" livery
  
• UPS
• Eva Air Cargo
• Shanghai Airlines Cargo
• Citybird and Swissair
• Citybird - White
• Alitalia Cargo
• Transmile Airlines
• Gemini Air Cargo - Gray
• FedEx
• Gemini Air Cargo

PMDG has not officially committed to a release date for the MD-11 add-on yet, but according to this post, creation of new liveries typically happens near the end of product development. Looks like we will be adding the MD-11 to our virtual hangars very soon!

The MD-11 is not widely flown in the U.S. anymore, having been largely phased out by most airlines in favor of more fuel-efficient twin-engine planes such as the Boeing 767. Cargo airlines (particularly UPS and FedEx) as well as a few international carriers such as KLM and Finnair still routinely fly the MD-11 in the U.S. though.
